‘Birds, Art & Science’ focus of Toledo Museum exhibit
TOLEDO – "In Fine Feather: Birds, Art & Science" will be on view April 25 through July
6 in the Toledo Museum of Art’s Gallery 18.
The exhibition chronicles the intersection of natural science and art in the pursuit of describing and
identifying birds, from a medieval treatise on falconry to John James Audubon’s Birds of America and
today’s field guide.
The free show features 45 works by Audubon, Alexander Wilson, John Gould and Roger Tory Peterson.
The oldest piece is a reproduction of a 13th-century manuscript on falconry that is often cited as the
earliest illustrated book about birds.
Five watercolors by Peterson recently acquired by the museum will be on view for the first time.
It’s the second time in three years that the Museum has given a gallery over to birds-the first was
2012’s popular For the Birds exhibition. This new exhibition is completely different with the sole
exception of the inclusion of Audubon’s "The Passenger Pigeon."
"In Fine Feather shows the importance of art to the field of ornithology. We can see an evolution
over time in the way birds were studied and depicted," said exhibition curator Paula Reich.
"What’s more, the images of these birds are really stunning as works of art."
